Help identifying mystery screws.

[Digsy]

I just refitted one of my front wings and found I have two screws left over. The bag'o'bits that I have for the other side wing has two of these screws in it as well. I may be going senile but I cannot think where they should go.

 

 

They are M6, 10mm head, and about 30mm long. Judging by the amount of corrosion, they live in a fairly nasty place. I have attached a pic before and after cleaning one of them up.

 

 

Oh - and there's what looks like a self-aligning cone and shoulder on the underside of the washer face, so I guess whatever it bolts on needs to line up with something else.

Is it for the bottom of the wing at the back. IIRC there is two bolts that go up the way into the sill, there is also a plastic spacer thing that slides onto the wing and the stepped head on the bolt fits neatly into this.

I used some other bolts for there - even longer ones, with captive washers. I'll double check tomorrow that I haven't used the wrong ones.

My mistake - you're right. I've put the driver's side wing on with the wrong screws.

 

Cheers!
